Problems with the Electrical System

Whether customers are relying on the electrical system to listen to tunes or to start the car engine, this system is vital to everyday operation.

One Edmunds review talks about some troubles. “The WIFI and remote app stooped working 2 weeks later its now February 2020 and the dealer is still trying to fix it. Also, I have the upgraded sound system which the rare speaker rattles. The dealer told me it’s the car seat tensions and rare brake light housing. They are still trying to fix this issue.”

Problems with the Dead Battery – Draining

Moving onto the battery, Toyota is aware of some troubles with this system. Service Bulletin #T-SB-0007-19 talks about different aspects that can affect the performance and life of the battery. The reason for this bulletin was to address a growing number of customer concerns about needing a new battery within the first year of the car’s life.

Here is one of several owner’s complaints mentioning the issue on Kelley Blue Book: “I bought what I thought was my dream car, a 2020 Toyota Camry 06/01/20. Today is the 3rd time I have taken it in to the dealership to have the 2nd battery replaced- I took it in two weeks ago, dealership said everything was fine- they forced the battery to fail, said they replaced it and this morning after the car sitting for one day without being driven and it was dead again! I am so disappointed in this car.”

Toyota doesn’t take any responsibility but claims the batteries are dying because of storage, temperature, battery loads and parasitic drains. It must just be that Camry owners are harder and more damaging to their batteries than other owners. It’s a very strange phenomenon.

Problems with the Engine

The car engine is arguably the most essential component. However, with the Camry, there are some serious defects that must be repaired.

Here is one NHTSA complaint. “Car smells like coolant when exiting after driving. Cannot find visible leak, but overflow reservoir is empty after 3,000 miles.”

It turns out, this is such a large problem that Toyota needed to issue a recall. NHTSA Campaign Number 20V064000 states that over 40,000 vehicles might have engine castings that are porous. This design can produce cracks that allow the coolant to leak both externally and internally. If there is a leak, occupants also risk a fire. Since when is a car fire exceeding expectations? Customers must have drastically lowered the bar for this to be acceptable.

Problems with the Auto Glass

The word visibility references the view from the windshield, but it also relates to the other aspects of auto glass.

One NHTSA complaint states, “I was driving down the interstate when I heard a loud gunshot sound and all the sudden glass rained down on me and into my car. My sunroof exploded out of nowhere. This could have caused me to wreck because I shut my eyes and swerved. Also, thank goodness my daughter wasn’t in the back seat or she could have been seriously injured.”

Sadly, Toyota has chosen not to address this problem. Instead, the company issued Service Bulletin #T-TT-0537-19_Rev talking about a defective blind spot monitor sensor angle that needs to be repaired. It is just proof once again that this vehicle can’t possibly exceed expectations because it can’t even get the basics done right. Whether it is starting a fire or spontaneously exploding the auto glass, this Camry ensures that customers expect very little.

Did not happen to this vehicle, but others the same year. I am a tech who has seen multiple failures of the crankshaft position plate which is mounted between the flywheel and crankshaft brake causing engine to shut down while driving due to crank position sensor not receiving signal. I am concerned because my wife drives one which is the vin I gave, that her car may cut off in traffic causing a accident. This part is defective with holes cut around it where the new replacement part is solid. This should be replaced at no cost to customers when vehicle warranty coverage has run out. Information below is for a vehicle that I worked on and have seen 3 others. One resulting in engine & transmission replacement due to excessive damage from plate coming apart. I work for toyota & don't want my identity shared with them.

Description
While driving the camry at 45 mph among the flow of traffic on a state highway in florida, out of the blue the vehicle's speedometer on the instrument cluster was replaced with a flashing red box and the brakes applied themselves fully with no command or input given whatsoever. The camry immediately screeched to a stop in the middle of the road within a couple seconds, causing the vehicle behind me to slam into the camry at full speed. There were no other vehicles or obstacles ahead of me at all, this fact was also observed by witnesses. The automation had triggered for no apparent reason, overriding my control of the camry and stopping it in the middle of a major highway, causing the accident. Despite the intensity of the crash, the air bags of the vehicle failed to deploy in the impact, worsening the severity of my injuries. Both the camry and the other motorist's car were rendered inoperable and totaled in the accident, they had to be towed from the scene. The police ruled the cause of the accident to be vehicular malfunction of the camry.

The tire size is 215/55r17. Within a span of 10 months, three of my tires have needed to be replaced, with one of them almost causing me a very serious car accident. The issue appears to be with the sidewall failing. The first time this happened was in september of 2021. I brought the defective tire to a local bridgestone retail center and my complaint/concerns were completely dismissed by the in-store employee and corporate. The employee contacted corporate on the phone and was told there were no recalls on my specific tires. The employee insisted that because there was no current “recall,” my tire was not defective. He also stated that I should “trust him” because he's “been in the business for 25+ years”. Even though there was no nail or sharp object found, bridgestone had insisted that I must have ran over something. Relying on their knowledge and response in this matter, I went ahead and purchased the same exact tire at bjs wholesale club. ( I even took the tire to toyota for inspection and they couldn't find anything lodged in the tire or evidence to indicate that I ran over any object. They were completely baffled.) approximately 2 months ago, a second tire had a very similar issue occur out of nowhere. It happened when I was not even a five minute drive from my house. Yet again, the issue was with the sidewall. The tire was damaged beyond repair and I had to get the “donut” put on so that I could drive my car to a tire center to purchase a new tire. Then (not even two weeks later) a different tire went flat in the same exact manner. This incident happened within less than 10 minutes from my house. Nothing appeared to have pierced my tire. I even returned to the area where it went flat and found no evidence of possible road hazards or sharp objects. The rips were located in multiple areas of the tire. This time the damage was much worse and once again the tire was damaged beyond repair. I am fully convinced the tires are defective.

Description
Front bumper and side view mirror cover (passenger side) have been badly deformed with in past few months and getting worse for a vehicle which is still under warranty (~2 year old and under 36,000 miles). Side view mirror cover (driver side) has also started to deform. Side view mirror cover (passenger side) has been deformed to an extent that a slight hand touch or push detaches it from the vehicle body which means it can become falling or flying object when vehicle is in motion and cause safety hazard. Parts are available for inspection (pictures are also attached). I claimed the manufacturer warranty through a local toyota dealership and after sending me from one dealership to another, my warranty claim was denied based on the reason that deformation is possibly due to heat reflection which is an outside influence. Other than taking pictures, dealership and manufacturer have not tried to replicate the failure of parts. Dealership & manufacturer have also failed to rule out any safety issues due to deformed components. As a toyota customer and vehicle owner, I am highly concerned about (1) if front bumper will function under deformed conditions as it is designed to function and will not cause any safety issues to the vehicle and its occupants (2) deformed components (one of side view mirror is already started to detach) will not completely detach and become safety hazard. I am requesting nhtsa to investigate this matter which looks like a product failure and should be covered under manufacturer warranty or recall.

Have gone to a mechanic twice each time engine codes had shut off and there was nothing to be done at the moment.

I have owned 5 toyotas and a lexus suv and never had so many problems. This is a 2020 camry hybrid with only 20492 miles on it. It has had to be jump-started 3-4 times so far, but now it has a new issue: while on a road trip with my wife thru utah, the car suddenly shuts down, bells ringing and messages appearing. Cruise control, lane departure, and headlight system failure. This happened on a 2-lane highway with very minimal shoulder. I pulled over as far as I could, but still slightly in the lane. Turned off the ignition and after a minute or so, was able to restart the car. Noted that the sign on the road said "next services 129 miles"! This was on july 11, 2022 at about 3 pm. Once car was restarted, we drove to our destination without further issues, however I would not use cruise control for fear it would happen again. Got back to california the next day and took it to dealer to investigate the cause. Their conclusion: "extreme heat caused the warning lights to come on, but history code indicates that the issue resolved itself. The vehicle is operating normally at this time but the system will be affected by high temperatures and direct sunlight"!!! The temperature on the road at the time was 95 degrees. Dealer contacted toyota's technical assistance hot line to document concern case #221930394. Per the service department, they called the field rep who said if everything was functioning at this time, then there was no action to be taken. First of all, I am 75 years old and do not expect this from a car with only 20492 miles on it, and especially not from a toyota. I find the "solution" to be completely foolish - avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight!! Temperatures over 95 degrees and direct sunlight are common in many states. Can someone please get to the bottom of this? I am beginning to think that I bought a lemon. I am also reporting it to nhtsa, as it is a safety issue that must be dealt with. Thank you,

I purchased this vehicle on 01/12/2021 from toyota of greenville, sc. I was initially told that the vehicle was a certified pre-owned toyota, which means it went through an intensive reconditioning process and passed all certification requirements. As I was signing the papers to purchase the car, I was told that it could not be sold as a certified vehicle because it has the open manufacturer recall #20ta02. It has been almost 9 months and I have not received any notice of a pending fix for this potentially deadly recall, summarized below. Summary: the subject vehicles are equipped with a low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine may run rough. This may result in a vehicle stall, and the vehicle may be unable to be restarted. Safety risk: if a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash. Remedy: any authorized toyota dealer will replace the low-pressure fuel pump with an improved one free of charge. I am hesitant to take the vehicle on a long trip or take it on the highway. I do not want to be stranded during my trip or die if the fuel pump shuts off at high speed. I have been purchasing toyota products since 2000. I am feeling very abused and and neglected buy what I thought was a safe and reliable brand. I will be in the market for another vehicle soon. Now, I am not sure toyota is the only brand to consider. Please let them know that I am not a happy customer because of this ongoing problem with their number 1 selling vehicle.

While going up a hill with a right hand curve at about 50 mph I heard a loud noise that sounded like two pieces of metal coming together. At the time I had no idea what caused the noise but thought maybe I ran over a piece of metal that the the wheel threw up. I took the car to the dealer and they checked the under side and told there was no sign of any damage that might have been done. I have all wheel drive and the noise was so mechanical I now think the drive wheel was changing and and it had an out of sync connection which resulted in the loud noise. The vehicle was in motion, on a paved highway, going up a hill that had a right hand curve, I was steering through the curve at about 50 mph. I do not know the exact cause of the loud noise but believe it involved the all wheel drive feature. 5/9/2021

Twice recently 2020 toyota camry with less than 8,000 miles on it would not start after being parked in a garage. In both cases, we charged the battery and car started right away. No doors were left open, no lights on, etc. What is causing the battery to drain after a day or two not being driven? My older toyota with 150,000 is more reliable, sadly. Have read about a battery drain issue with this car, but toyota customer service says my vin number is not part of the recall. Seems like I am not the only one with this problem. Taking to dealership this week to see if problem can be identified.

Problems with the dead battery ' draining. I bought the car in july 2020. It has been 2 times I've had to call roadside assistance because my car was completely dead. First time, they said it was because the car was parked at the dealership with no use. Second time, they said it was because my car has low miles since I've bought it. I wanted to buy a new car to not go through "issues" and I should not be forced to drive my car more than what I need to, nor I should have to buy a trickle charger the tech service guy recommended me to buy and follow his instructions on having to drive at least 30 minutes twice a week, when I already drive it to work everyday. Now I am affraid to drive my car, worried that it won't work at any given moment. What should you expect when they tell you "I cannot garantee this won't happend again in 6 or 7 months"?. Very disappointed. I then, started doing resaerch on my own online and found out that there are a lot of people experiencing the same problem.

I leased this vehicle in july 2020 for 24 months, the battery is not dependable; frequently, at random times, the car won't start.. I have had to call for assistance 6 times. Toyota explained that the battery has a defect called parasitic drain because of overload from 40 computers and only solution is to drive at least 1/2 hour twice a week. I am 88 years old with macula degeneration and consider this an unsafe requirement. Toyota suggested buying a new battery but if, as stated by the mechanic, the battery is getting continuously drained by overload, that makes no sense, I asked if they could block off some of the drainage (like bluetooth) they said not this model. I complained that I wasn't informed of this defect before buying and they explained it was in the manuel which I didn't receive until I signed the agreement.

The car wouldn't unlock through my key fob. Had to manually unlock it. 2. Upon entering and pressing the start button, the mid was flickering with error messages such as (a) key fob not detected (b) epb disengaged. 3. The battery seemed dead, none of the electricals and electronic responded. I understood the battery was dead (strange for a new car bought 5 months ago). 4. I jump started successfully using my older car which doesn't run too often, yet cold starts pretty good. No accessories/lights were left on during the two days the car was stationary.

The doors would not lock and my dashboard displayed a malfunctioning system parking brake disabled. My car remain at the dealership for 4 days. On june 19 I picked up my vehicle. The toyota technician stated the battery was good after performing a battery test using toyota dca8000 test. The technician performed an update telematics module i9i-13 dcm to latest firmware to software version high at lg-n010ffb and software version low at cbc-98 or cbc-34 as applicable dealer techstream diagnostic tool. Ok this was suppose to be the fix to my problem. On aug 19 the same issue happened again. Again I had my car towed to the same dealership. After a series of test they stated it was the battery, so they replaced the battery with a new battery. I didn't understand how it could be the battery when this is a brand new car with less than 12,000 miles on the vehicle. . On jan 25, 2021 my vehicle was parked in my driveway and my car would start. The radio came on , the lights were working but the car wouldn't start, the steering wheel wouldn't move and the car wouldn't go into neutral. I had my car towed to my dealership again. Technician advise the next day had perform a dcm reset and firmware update for draining batteries to the 2020 camry. This vehicle has not perform to the standards I expected since day of purchase march 2020. State of georgia will not allow you to submit a lemon law claim because vehicle was not out of commission for 30 days total. I am a very upset customer and will continue to file complaints with toyota headquarters and possibly seek me a a consumer attorney. As much as I am paying for my vehicle I shouldn't have to continue to wait around for toyota to get this problem correct.

I purchased my camry in october. When starting it up in the morning for the past few weeks there was a slight hesitation. I attributed the issue to the cold temperatures and allowed the car to warm up before driving. Yesterday afternoon my car wouldn't start at all. It makes a clicking and rattling noise similar to an old clunker. I was parked in the parking lot of my apartment complex. I called the brown's toyota dealership where I purchased the vehicle and was told to contact roadside assistance to have the car towed there. They were closing at 4p and would not be able to check out the car until monday. They also informed me that I would have to pay for a loaner car upfront and be reimbursed if it was determined that I didn't cause the car not to start. So ridiculous. I shouldn't have this issue with a brand new car. From the looks of it reading through these other reports there's a serious issue with the 2020 toyota camry.

Unexpectedly, my car's 12v battery discharged completely under conditions of regular use and moderate temperatures, while parked in my garage overnight. Car is 11 months old with 6327 miles. It was towed to toyota repair shop, which re-charged the battery and installed dcm reset and firmware update t-sb-0095-20. The repair representative referred to possible problem with a recent auto software update that may have worn down battery with numerous incomplete (uninitiated) ignition starts. This software fix was applied for this specific instance, but is not being generally applied to all vehicles. The representative said that the problem was not caused by anything I did, and indicated I may want to watch for toyota consumer notices for further repair. The toyota technical service bulletin, dcm reset and firmware update t-sb-0095-20 (dated september 30, 2020, accessible online), indicates some 2020-2021 models may exhibit "depleted 12v vehicle battery when in ig-off". The software update is not being applied to all vehicles, and there was no assurance that the problem is fixed and will not occur again. As a driver, this leaves me vulnerable to being stranded without transportation, and reliant on help from strangers if parked in remote recreation areas without cell phone access; an unsafe situation.

Our vehicle was struck from the drivers side - rear at an estimated 60mph speed difference. (it is thought we were slowed to approx 25mph, other car was probably 80mph or more). This happened on i95 in lumberton nc. The other vehicle was in left lane, we were in right lane. The other vehicle swerved into our lane hitting us "quartering" from left rear. Force was hard enough to deform right side of car which came in contact with nothing. As the driver, I struck the interior with enough force to cause a "severe" concussion. No side curtains deployed, and I do not believe the seat belts tensioned to restrain me in the seat. My left shoulder, arm, and elbow were also injured in the accident. The front seat passenger suffered injuries to her left arm, and recoiled striking the inside of the right interior. This caused head trauma as well. We don't believe the seat belt tensioned. Passenger in the back seat, right side also suffered injury. Not as severe as front seat occupants. He was throw around in the vehicle, it is unknown if his belts tensioned. All 3 had to be transported by ambulance for injuries suffered. There is a warning displayed in the dash stating, "srs airbag system malfuntion visit your dealer" I believe had seatbelts tensioned, side curtains deployed, my injuries would be much less. This accident occurred 10/11/2020, weather was overcast but dry. Crash force was sufficient to cause body work deformation on right side of vehicle, which came in contact with no objects.

The new battery actually checks out at 990 cca! Technician said it is the newly designed battery for the toyota camry and rav4 and would greatly reduce dead battery problem, however toyota would not authorize a replacement. I have spent 2 full days chasing this problem at 2 dealerships and toyota says it is my fault for leaving a door, hood, or trunk open-absurd! This is truly lousy service on a brand new vehicle with an underlying serious problem. For the immediate time I disconnect the battery cable when not going to use the care for 4 or 5 days. This vehicle needs a recall for battery or underlying drainage problem. Also see kelly blue book for many complaints about this.

When attempting to start the car from sitting just overnight, the dash will flash and click as if the battery is dead. The car won't start and has to be jumped. However when you have the car checked, it's not a problem with the battery. There is something draining the battery overnight that I haven't been able to diagnose. Nothing is plugged in and the lights are all turned off. The car is simply draining itself. There are only 6000 miles on the clock and no other outside factors that I can think of could be contributing to this issue. Also related to the electronics going crazy, is the rcd feature used while is reverse gear. After the car is jumped, that feature needs to be reset by a technician so the back up camera system works properly. This is very quickly becoming more then an annoyance.

I already have a complaint number 11342422. I have studied the anti-lock braking system further and I think I have identified 2 places of safety concern. In normal mode, since I can push the pedal all the way to the floor, my interpretation is that the reservoir can accept all of the additional fluid being pumped. It also tells me that the final force on the brake pads will be whatever the resistance the spring in the reservoir has. So I don't have final control over the braking even under normal conditions. The other condition that concerns me is the last diagram when the pump is intensifying the braking force. Now there is also another path for some of this pumped fluid to return to the input side of the pump. If the leakage path had no resistance then the pump could be recirculating all of the brake fluid resulting in no braking. I hope that the leakage path has enough resistance that a sufficient amount of brake fluid is ending up at the brake pads. This is something that is impacting my car but I think it's a risk to all cars with abs. What really bothers me is that I have talked to service managers of 3 car dealers and they all claim that being able to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor is normal. I don't think it is normal and it also doesn't apply to all cars. My wife's car brakes don't do this. It seems as if there is an industry wide focus to cover up this problem. I hope that you can get access to abs engineers to really understand this issue. Thank you.

I can still drive the car but what I think is defective is that, with the car parked, I can push the brake pedal all the way to the floor. There are no leaks of brake fluid so it must be going into the antillock braking system. There must be an internal leak within the abs and I'm concerned that might affect it's functionality.

New vehicle, pristine condition. Highway driving, open space, straight line. No trees, cars, trucks, overpasses, etc. In vicinity. Weather overcast, no rain. Without warning, sunroof glass exploded outward. Glass pieces did fall inside, but mostly blew out and back, gouging rear window and causing significant paint damage on trunk. Size of blowout hole approximately 24"x13". Toyota says not their fault, clearly a rock hit it.

Car suddenly accelerates by itself . I apply brakes and it still propels itself. I lose control of the vehicle and feel that I am lucky that I do not hit a pedestrian or another car because the sudden acceleration eventually stops. The car is new with only 900miles . I am scared to death to drive it. Tomorrow I am bringing car back to the dealer for advice. This sudden acceleration has happened twice. Of course this occurs when I am driving at slow speeds.

The day was partly cloudy. The location was maryland. The vehicle was a new 2020 toyota camry se 4door. While driving with my sunroof exterior flat glass and interior door assembly both completely closed, my daughter and I suddenly heard a boom explosion. While driving trying to safely exit, huge black chunks were flying behind us, that was later identified as broken sunroof glass flying behind us hitting the vehicles traveling behind us. We pulled over and got out of the car. We discovered that my vehicle's sunroof had exploded. Instead of the remaining broken sunroof glass edges exhibiting a concave downward appearance, the remaining shattered glass exhibited a convex outward appearance indicating an explosion had occurred. Took the vehicle to a local maryland toyota dealer for help and was told because the vehicle wasn't purchased from their dealership they couldn't help me. Hence the oem glass replacement costs were covered by my auto insurance, with a 0 deductible. A few days later after I returning home, the new oem glass and sunroof assembly began to screech and crackled as if it was coming apart. The toyota dealership where I purchased my vehicle renigged on their promise to make my sunroof assembly new again at no costs since the vehicle was still under warranty. Now I deal with a crackling and squeaking sunroof assembly that makes me fearful of the sunroof exploding again. Note: the purchasing dealership failed to comply with my auto sunroof glass and assembly that was still under warranty and refund my auto insurer and me as they had promised.

I was driving down the interstate when I heard a loud gunshot sound and all the sudden glass rained down on me and into my car. My sunroof exploded out of nowhere. This could have caused me to wreck because I shut my eyes and swerved. Also, thank goodness my daughter wasn't in the back seat or she could have been seriously injured.

Description
During multiple episodes whether the car is at a stop or in motion there is a delay from when the accelerator is depressed to when the engine responds and revs leading to more power and speed. For example when stopped at a light trying to make a left turn, I press the accelerator down and there is no major change in speed and revs until seconds later when then engine then goes from 1000rpms to 3000rpms. This can be dangerous and almost led to an accident as there was an oncoming car that almost hit me as I was trying to make the turn. Also happened when I was trying to accelerate to merge onto the highway and there was an acceleration delay for a safe merge.

Rodents appear to be attracted to the engine compartment where they are eating critical wiring. The wiring is associated with the fuel injection system. I had the vehicle repaired with the dealership, costing me 0. After returning the vehicle from these repairs at the dealership, I parked the vehicle at home and again rodents entered the engine compartment and chewed up additional wiring the very next day. The new repairs cost me and additional 0. The home is located in a rural area under a carport.

Slow acceleration during 1st 1 or 2 gears. Almost had multiple accidents in highway due to slow acceleration when changing lanes. The vehicle does not immediately respond to acceleration when accelerator pedal is used. The vehicle has a couple of seconds delay until it changing into next gear. Dealer non responsive. I brought it into my toyota dealer and the service technician drove my car with me in the passenger seat. I explained that my previous (3) v6 toyota camry's did not have any problems with acceleration, he totally understood. The new 8- speed transmission has different shift settings which explains the acceleration delay and sometimes causes a jerky motion from a dead stop, driving in stop & go traffic or while entering a highway. According to the tech, they have been provided with no fixes for this problem and that the car will "learn" my driving habits the more I drive it.

    I purchased 2020 Toyota camry AWD in March 2021 with only 4,000 and the dealership has had my vehicle more than its been in my yard.. I have to keep taking it back for the same problem over and over again with the problem still not being fixed.. does anyone else have or notice this problem.? I keep feeling a skip while the vehicle is in motion..was told it was a misfire the first time..it was supposedly fixed within a week or two had to return my vehicle back to the dealership again and said they needed to drive it to see if computer would catch it.. it did not but said they felt it.. they returned my vehicle to me not fixed but said it was…. returned the vehicle again for the same reason and this has been going on for over a year…said toyota rep was coming to drive it and said toyota rep said nothing is wrong with it but vehicle still does it.😠 Whenever I have riders in my car and they feel the skip they always ask me what was that? I just reply something that the dealership said they don’t feel smh…I’ve been stressing about this situation and the dealership acts as if they owe me nothing and this issue has been going on over a year..knowing I’ve done had almost 10 of their rentals driving them for weeks or months while they so call check my car out😠 can someone help me? I think I’ve been sold a LEMON and the dealership isn’t wanting to admit it.

    I have owned a 2020 Camry AWD for 13 months and 14000 miles and had the drivers window fall out of the track a few weeks ago. I took it in for repair and was told that it was operator error and that it was not covered under warranty. After I fought them on that they told me that it would be covered by the dealership but it was still operator error and not covered by Toyota. (Not sure how using the window switch causes a window to fall off track but regardless.) Fast forward two weeks after the repair and it has happened again. I contacted the customer relations manager who was very nice and assured me they would take care of it but I’m still wondering why is this happening… ???
    I am posting this for any others that may be having similar problems.

    Spent 4 Hours at Dealership to have SOS system updated due to my car having dead battery 3 times in the past month… Replaced Battery also which is not cheap and even had to pay for the update. Love my car but should not be having these issues. I drive it everyday!!!! Nothing has been left on… Toyota needs to issue a recall this seems to be a big problem!!!!!

  • Antonio M

    I have a 2020 hybrid only had 4 miles on it last week engine light came on .I took it to the dealership and was told I had to pay for a diagnostic test which said I needed a new engine. Toyota told me it’s not they fault and call my insurance company. I’m so disappointed in Toyota.

    My 2020 camry had 18, plus miles on it this is the second time my car won’t start. Took it to Arlington Toyota, the first time. They said nothing was wrong with it 3 weeks later here I am again. Missing work and kids missing school. Terrible car… VERY DISAPPOINTED!

    battery died after 16k miles on day I had to take wife to surgery. It took 12 hours just to get it towed to dealer ( I paid 1600.00 for Toyota extended warranty) Dealer told me battery failed and after a new battery and re-boot it should be fine…I’m afraid to drive it anywhere…if it starts! Very dissapointed

    Purchased a 2020 Toyota Camry SE in July 2020. I too have had 2 experiences with the battery draining. I did not take it to the Dealer to be checked. But I also have experienced a RATTLING noise in my DASH not long after I purchased the car. I have investigated everything and I know the noise is coming from the DASH. Sometimes in the ODOMETER area, sometimes in the Middle display area, and sometimes from the far right side of the dash. The RATTLE moves around but it is coming from the dash. I took it in to the Dealer in September 2021. The TECHs informed the ADVISOR JP it was the driver sunvisor, of course I knew it was not that. But I let them replace it on 9/27/21. That same day the RATTLE continued. I did let the ADVISOR JP know via in person while getting my oil changed on 10/02/21. I have not schedule a new date to take it back. Very frustrated.

    Purchased my 2020 Toyota Camry last October, so technically it hasn’t been quite a year yet. Last month the battery drained and the dealership recharged it and updated the software. Again last night the battery drained leaving me stranded at the movies.

  • Ginger

    Also have the battery problem with the hybrid. They said the hybrid battery was draining the auxiliary battery. AAA couldn’t charge it, the dealership had to come out to do it. Said they would do a software update and also asked how often I drive it. I drive it everyday and it is a 2020 SE with about 7,500 miles. It was also in the shop about three months ago with major hybrid issues. Not sure what they were but after $5,100 was spent (under warranty so I didn’t have to pay) the paperwork only said replaced a fuel pump which took them getting a special technician from Toyota in and 13 days to “fix”. I want my money back.

    I bought my new Toyota Camry 2020 last year, because I thought new car, means dependability since I was forced to buy a new car due to my Hyundai GT dying on me. Well was doing fine, then this year in April 2021 the car while at my house wouldn’t start, got a jump from AAA then went to the dealership and was told “cars are just like that” and that it wasn’t the battery when the AAA said it was. Okay i thought. Come August 2021 and again same problem, thankfully I have been at my house when this happens, went in and was told they’ve seen this problem a lot with Toyota Camrys and it’s not really a “recall” but that it would take awhile to diagnose AND that I could get charged for the diagnosis! I am very very disappointed, I bought my car based on people saying Toyotas’ are great and dependable and it appears I was let down. I don’t know what to do 🙁

    I also have a 2020 Camry SE. Getting ready to go to work and car won’t start. My husband jump the car with a smaller battery pack and it didn’t start. He used a bigger one and it started and wanted to let it run for a bit before taking off. I pressed the gas pedal and there were loud clacking sound coming from the passenger front of the engine. So, we recorded the loud noise. Towed the car to Toyota and they told us that its a battery issue that needed software update. Due to the dead battery, the Valve Timing Gear was making noise. When picking up the car, the receipt stated that customer compliant loud noise but unable to verify customer compliant at this time. I was levied! I said wow, he tells me one thing and wrote down another. I tell you, Toyota got to do better with quality and customer satisfaction!

    I have a 2020 Camry hybrid and it has the battery drain issue also. I replaced it with a yellow top optima battery and it’s been 6 months no problem. I am definitely not happy with the car but given I am upside down I will keep it for a bit. If you have a regular Camry you would need to use the red top I believe. Anyway so far so good.

    I have a 2020 Toyota Camry SE battery issue. Wife comes home from work parts the car in the garage. We didn’t drive the car at all the next day. She goes to start the car the falling day and the battery didn’t have enough charge to start the car. Dealer said that we must have left something on. But there was nothing left on.

    I bought a new 2020 Camry Le . After several months I notice a mold wet smell in the car . I took the car to the dealer and was told a plug under the car was missing and the entire car got wet , and all they could do is install plug and shampoo carpet and they were done. I was told they would not do anything else to my Camry . I still drove a stinky Camry until I was fed up .
    What a living nightmare I went through . I will never buy a Camry again .

    Just purchased a certified pre owned 2020 Toyota Camry SE 12 days ago. I came out to take my kid to school and the battery was dead I didn’t drive it on the weekend only 2 days and the battery is drained it has 17k miles on it. Jump state from another car and took to the dealer they had it for a couple hours and said it was a update issue so we she’ll see. This is insane a 2020 car doing this I never had problems with Honda, acura and bmw. I’m thinking my 20 year old acura is more reliable. If I would have known about all these issues I would never have bought this car and went with Honda. First Toyota and I never plan on purchasing another one.

    I truly hate this car nothing like the 2002 I had for over 18years. It is truly a piece of junk; this morning at 5 am went to leave for work and it would not crank, call for roadside service and was told I did not have it. Within 2 hours I called back thdre was no problem. Roadside gentleman came out and jump started my car and I was told by him I needed to get a portable jumper cable kit. He said he has had lots of calls for the same problem. Sitting here now at the dealership waiting on them to do a diagnostic test but they can not guarantee me this will not happen again.
    What am I suppose to do if this keeps happening? I purchased a new car thinking It would be dependable but From reading what others have written my hope is out of the window.
    I have also notice other problems with this car, floor mats are overated, car rattles, internet system is a piece of crap.

    I am totally at my wits end with this hunk of beauty.

    I had purchased a 2020 Toyota Camry XSE in SEP ’20. On FEB 17 ’21, I found my car dead – key fob couldn’t unlock the car; flickering display with multiple messages; car wouldn’t start. I had to jump with other car and it’s been going well since. After having researched and taken to dealership on FEB 25 ’21, I was told all the TSBs till date were obsolete and that I check again in two weeks for a new update. I shall also test it out to see if the problem persists by keeping it stationary for 2-3 days.

    I am in a worry for if this isn’t resolved and I may be stranded. A new car shouldn’t have such a problem.

    2020 Camry LE brakes for no reason. The car brake checked three people. Transmission downshifts when you let off the accelerator. With cruise the transmission shifts constantly but hard to make it downshift going certain speeds. Transmission sounds and feels like it’s slipping in some gears. Started misfiring going up hills with cruise set this week. Crash avoidance warns to brake after the posibility of the collision is well over. Eng rattles and knocks most of the time. Can’t disable trunk button to secure items in the trunk. Valet mode in Entune doesn’t do anything except stop someone from listening to the radio.

  • Robert C

    Bought a 2020 Toyota Camry le in October it’s now February. The cars electronic features barely work if at all, my PCs which is the collision system continually malfunctions, random breaking going down the highway while the system says to be off and when the PCs is acting up you have no cruise control either. Both the dealership and Toyota corporate have done nothing to actually work on the vehicle. However, they ran one diagnostics in February saying there where no anomalies yet the lights saying it was malfunctioning where displayed, along with the no cruise message. They have refused any service and have basically said it’s my problem. This car is not even safe to drive with the system malfunctioning that controls both my throttle and breaks. Keep in mind I cannot manually override the system if it wants to go and I need to stop it just keeps accelerating while I have my foot on the break and vice versa.
